The Israeli Supreme Court reaffirmed
yesterday its November 2007 ruling that Israeli cuts of Gaza's power
and fuel supplies does not harm the civilian life of the population –
and Israel's methods do not have to be altered. The court responded
to a petition filed by 10 human rights groups. The Israeli government
has argued the fuel limitations will create popular pressure against
Palestinian militants, who continue to fire rockets at Israel –
arguably because of Israeli sanctions against Gaza. FSRN's Rami
Almeghari has more.
